They say they are an official provider for FIFA and World Rugby. Facilities that use it include Olympic Stadium in Montreal, and the Superdome.

if this is true...whooo bhoy: John Hickey @JohnHickeyJr 26m26 minutes ago BREAKING: #NASL temporary injunction request against #USSF DENIED. League plans to join #NISA in D3.
It looks like that might have been premature. And there is no way the NASL is joining NISA. Maybe some teams will do that but definitely not all of them.
I debating about removing my post with the twitter link...but I think that I'm going to leave it up there

NASL probably to add second team in Puerto Rico, a team in Guam and Hawaii to shorten travel commitments for other teams.
USL president says Canada needs its own league https://t.co/wbfFExtOJg— Steven Sandor (@stevensandor) November 10, 2017 https://the11.ca/usl-president-says-canada-needs-its-own-league/ While the Ottawa Fury are committed to return to USL in 2018, USL President Jake Edwards said that the team’s membership in the North American Division-2 circuit is on a year-to-year basis. the Fury don’t have long-term obligations to USL which would potentially block it from moving to the Canadian Premier League down the road — if that’s the path that the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group want to take. “We feel Canada needs its own professional league,” he said. In a conference call with media on Friday, Edwards said that Canadian teams in cross-border leagues are only sanctioned by the Canadian Soccer League on an annual basis. Safe to say that the Ottawa Fury will leave USL once the Canadian Premier League starts
As they should. Having two stable and already successful teams in the league will be extremely helpful for the long term stability for the CPL.
Ottawa and ???? Certainly you're not talking about Edmonton. All Edmonton has proven over the last decade is that Fath has a bunch of money and hasn't tired of burning through it.
Bob Lilley is moving to Pittsburgh http://triblive.com/sports/riverhou...ster-rhinos-boss-bob-lilley-as-new-head-coach
While the Riverhounds are getting a good coach, it's a pretty bad sign for Rochester. Tomorrow's press conference doesn't seem promising.
I thought it was 1.3 million. Either way, not a real good look for Rochester. It sounds like they are on their way out either in two weeks or in the following years.
New teams 2018 2019 Fresno Las Vegas Moving Seattle2 to Tacoma Austin Memphis Birmingham Nashville Atlanta FC NASL Indy North Carolina FC OUT Ottawa Rochester Who did I forget.
Vancouver Whitecaps 2 is apparently out although they have not officially announced it. Ottawa has not announced what they are doing. The CPL may start in 2018 but it may not. Rochester? I haven't seen that announced. If you are just going by rumors then Pittsburgh is in trouble. North Carolina moving over from NASL seems like a done deal but not official. There are rumors of a USSF/NASL deal so Indy might not be going anywhere yet. Jacksonville might also move depending on what happens with the NASL. San Diego (NASL) is also a possibility. I think you have all the official expansion teams although the order is confusing and "Tacoma" isn't a new team. 2018 Fresno Las Vegas Nashville Atlanta 2 2019 Austin (may be affected by the Crew move, if it happens) Memphis Birmingham
